Nice job!

[andrewleen29 3]

thank you mam, am so hesitant about preparing all these documents im too afraid to forget something nor include wrong documents. i've been from your city and i wish to get back there anytime soon i call it "america's playground"

[Cathymac 60]

Brilliant. Thank you x

[gwenstar 66]

Looks like you have got everything and also are very well organized!

I am not sure of your exact application, but if you are just sending in the I-130, you do not need to send int your "Section 10:" I-864 AOS documents until you reach the NVC (after USCIS approves the I-130)

That is my only suggestion....and of course, if it is something specific to your application/beneficiary country as to why you would need to include it, then what you have gathered looks good.

Good luck!

[andrewleen29 3]

thank you guys. should we not send this whole package? i arranged it in an envelop containing 5 subfolders with tags. should we not send aos? if we do, do you think they will send our other documents and forms to nvc? where can we specifically ask for these things. your honest replies are very much appreciated

[andrewleen29 3]

in a way i wanted to make everything nice, maybe not perfect but i want to help other applicants too so i researched about the things that an applicant should get in hand. again thank you for your replies

[patnjac 130]

Great folder. Can sometime tell me if he needed 3 passport pics? I read one each and that's what I just sent

[andrewleen29 3]

i think it will be ok if u sent one but according to my recent research ( am sorry but i can't find the link anymore) it says it will be safe to send 3 copies ( for the reasons that sometimes when it is scanned it may be damaged etc) dont worry i guess they will ask for additional one if they need it, blessed be your application

[patnjac 130]

I organized mine in the same way u did. Complete with dividers and tabs saying what each section was. Good luck to you too!

[andrewleen29 3]

that's nice I guess making it that way and organized will help any officer, for sure they are receiving too many applications.I think its our duty to at least present a decent application

[gwenstar 66]

If you send int he I-864 AOS, they will not give you and RFE....it just is not required at this time. You will just need to submit an updated version after your NOA2 and you get to the NVC.

I sent mine in a similar fashion, as organized as possible and over prepared. But I didn't have any problems, so yay. I think you have every aspect fully covered and don't have anything to be nervous about! I bet they will be happy to see a petition so well organized

[andrewleen29 3]

so should I not send aos for now? a guy from the forum said I should not send this way he said just send i-130 payment and g325a forms with photos, he told me not to send originals to USCIS. what should I do? I was thinking USCIS will forward everything to nvc once they approved our application, does it not go that way?

##9 and 10 do not belong there. Please read the instructions for filing here. Do not send any originals of marriage, birth, police certificates at this point. USCIS only requires copies. You will need originals for the NVC. They are sent separately and additionally after the petition is approved. Affidavit of support is also only sent to the NVC. By the time petition gets approved you might need to update some paystubs and such anyway because it takes a while. Police certificate also eventually expires.

Again, i say, read the instructions. Don't send everything off at once.

And also: #12 - which future use do you think there could be?..

And also: you want to add translations for whichever documents are not in English (if any).

Mr. (SS#)

My answer is based on I am under the assumption that you are applying for a spouse that is currently living in another country and you are not both living here in the US....

This shows the required forms -

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-130instr.pdf

I put in bold the requirements you have listed that you need to send for the I-130. The other items that have to do with the beneficiary or AOS are not a part of USCIS process. Beneficiary information is required at the NVC process when they beneficiary fills out the DS-260 application and you fill out the I-864 AOS.
